Hello Koen but I belive those are two different issues.

I added the virtual/psplash package to allow others to properly depends
on an alternative. Currently the only recipe using it is
initramfs-module-psplash but others may come.

I fully agree that we should drop plain psplash recipe and have
people to use the branded one but I also think angstrom needs to
properly set the preferred version since it will then allow that
its users to use it without much hassle.

My 2c.
